    Tesla may be a disrupter one day, but I can't see Elon Musk being the one to lead them that way... He's gone off the rails since his breakup with Amber Heard.

    I lean towards Seth's stance in this debate. The shifts are ridiculous and baseball is becoming more like slow pitch softball with 4 OFs out there. Implement a rule that infielders need to touch the dirt at all times. Robot umpires will be a thing... The pitch clock should be implemented ASAP. There is no reason why players can play with the pitch clock all throughout the minors, then toss it all out the window when they are called up to the majors. If the game keeps continuing the way it is with less balls in play, and 3 true outcomes, I doubt I'll be a die-hard fan 10 years from now.

    I'm not predicting this, but if you're looking for a trade that would move the needle, trade Pressly and Gibson. Those two will give the Twins a high end prospect we're all looking for.

    It wouldn't prevent them from signing anyone. But it certainly hurts their trade value next season... Either the Pohlads will have to eat $6-7 million or they'll receive a worse prospect because the other team takes on $6-7 million in payroll.

    The Americans final season will be on Amazon Video this upcoming Sunday. I heard great things about the ending... Can't wait!
  6. Vanimal46
    Apathy has set in for me. This is the most uninteresting Twins team in the last 5 years IMO. Especially so once Dozier and/or Escobar is traded.
  7. Vanimal46
    Have you seen him before or know what his pitch mix is?
  8. Vanimal46
    Lots of Minnesota fans appreciate him. Don't be fooled by the loud minority voices on this site. The majority of casual fans will be sad to see him go.
  9. Vanimal46
    So we have another Adam Brett Walker III... Oh boy! Can't wait for the heated debates
  10. Vanimal46
    That's baseball for you. At least he's good enough to make up the deficit. On the other side of the coin, LaMarre's one good week masked the next 2 months of him playing bad baseball.
  11. Vanimal46
    That's my concern as well. Frankly I wasn't sure if he should be back in Minnesota anytime this season. It's encouraging that he's lost 20 lbs but I'm hoping for significant weight loss like Kyle Schwarber did last offseason.
  12. Vanimal46
    Brian Dozier is the equivalent of North Dakota men's hockey. Every year from October - December they start slow, and fans raise their pitchforks asking to fire the coach. Once January rolls around they get red hot, and end up in the NCAA tournament every year.
  13. Vanimal46
    If I didn't know better, I would think you're making up names on the Rochester roster... Who are these people? Kremmer, Wilkins, Graterol, Hazelbacker... None of these names register with me.
  14. Vanimal46
    Kinley was an awful decision without requiring hindsight as well. Actually, both of their rule 5 decisions were awful.
  15. Vanimal46
    Do you get the sense they'll move Sano up the minor leagues like a rehab assignment? I assumed this demotion less about getting his swing back, and more about intervening his life to make better food and exercise choices.
  16. Vanimal46
    As far as who plays 3B this year, does it really matter? They're not contending for the playoffs. As far as who plays 3B next year, they have all winter to figure that out. I'm in agreement with Chief. Signing Escobar this offseason is signing high. I think we're going to see him drop off in the 2nd half this season.
  17. Vanimal46
    Not really much of a debate here. Buxton and Sano and no one else is even close. None of the FAs brought in were supposed to be a franchise cornerstone piece. These 2 have to figure things out quickly.
  18. Vanimal46
    Realmuto is #24 overall on Kiley McDaniel's Trade Value series. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-trade-value-21-to-30/
  19. Vanimal46
    Unless they start giving relievers pink slips from the 40 man there is very little room and options to call up for position players. Are they going to call up someone with his production this year? Why don't they replace with someone who's doing well in AAA and has a legit chance to be on the 40 man regardless this winter?
  20. Vanimal46
    236 ABs, .212 .529 OPS and 4, yes, 4 RBI gives me reason to give up.
  21. Vanimal46
    I'm not sure why Granite is still on the 40 man to be honest... He's been brutal this season in Rochester. DFA him and add Wade to the 40.
  22. Vanimal46
    Who is Wilkins? Is he just org filler?
  23. Vanimal46
    I'm sad I missed this game. Also, go Brian Dozier.
  24. Vanimal46
    *checks calendar* Yep, right on time. Should be a fun few months for Dozier fans
  25. Vanimal46
    I'll take Joe over whoever they take in the Rule 5. He's one of my favorite Twins players in my fandom. I don't have expectations of him being great in 2019 and I fully admit it's for nostalgia. It's going to be a long, long time until there's another Twins player that plays 15+ seasons with the team. I'm going to enjoy the last period of time he'll play professionally.
